The C-terminal SP7-11 pentapeptide (Phe-Phe-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2) was found to suppress in vitro the immune response in a dose of 1-5 micrograms/ml. It produced also a distinct immunosuppression in vivo, by both per os and intraperitoneal, applications. In contrast, the N-terminal SP1-4 fragment (Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro) suppressed the response at a dose of 0.1 microgram/ml, but stimulated it slightly at higher doses (1-5 micrograms/ml). A structural analog of SP1-4 (Gly-Pro-Arg-Pro tetrapeptide) was found to be a strong immunosuppressor at a dose of 5 micrograms/ml, indicating the importance of N-terminal basic residue for the immunoregulatory activity of intact SP.
